Unicast mDNS queries (direct to IP:5353) are ignored by some HomeKit
devices. Switch to multicast (224.0.0.251:5353) and filter responses
by sender IP. Also consider mDNS response as reachability signal.
Split probe timeouts: 100ms for ports/DNS/HTTP, 120ms total to give
mDNS extra time. HomeKit responds in ~0.2ms via multicast.
ICMP requires root or CAP_NET_RAW which is not available in
unprivileged containers. Probe now relies solely on port scanning
for reachability detection, which works without any special
permissions. Add port 51826 (HomeKit) to both default and
database-loaded port lists.
Detect local network IP address using ip route / hostname -I / ifconfig
fallback chain and display it in the post-install summary box so users
can immediately open Strix from other devices on the network.
Bash installer that works on any Linux distro:
- Auto-detects OS and architecture
- Installs Docker via get.docker.com if missing
- Installs Docker Compose plugin if missing
- Auto-discovers local Frigate and go2rtc instances
- Interactive dialogs with 10s timeouts
- Generates docker-compose.yml and .env in /opt/strix/
- Supports install and update modes
- CLI flags for non-interactive use (--yes, --version, --no-logo)
- Returns machine-readable status for parent scripts (Proxmox LXC)
Cameras under load may accept TCP connection but never respond,
hanging tester workers indefinitely. Context timeout on the HTTP
request ensures workers are released.
Register http, https, httpx handlers with content-type detection:
- image/jpeg: single JPEG snapshots via go2rtc image.Open
- multipart/x-mixed-replace: MJPEG streams via mpjpeg.Open
- application/vnd.apple.mpegurl: HLS via hls.OpenURL
- auto-detect fallback via magic.Open (MPEG-TS, raw MJPEG, etc.)
Uses go2rtc tcp.Do for Basic + Digest auth and TLS handling.
Bubble protocol uses net.DialTimeout with u.Host directly,
which requires explicit port. Add portRequired set to force
port in generated URLs for such protocols.
